That's a better price for GPUs, but we still need more.

The price of graphics cards in general is still sickeningly high since the shortages of the pandemic times and the crypto mining craze, and unfortunately, the dreams of them returning to more affordable and sensible prices haven't really materialized. Is this the new normal for GPUs? I sure hope not. But the price of the last generation of cards does continue to fall, albeit very slowly. 

The last generation halo-tier card for AMD, the Radeon RX 6950 XT, is a little cheaper today thanks to Amazon reducing the price of the XFX Speedster Merc 319 AMD RX 6950 XT Black Gaming to $659. This is the cheapest RX 6950 XT variant currently available. 

Looking to add some extra RAM? We found a great price for 32GB of DDR4 RAM with TeamGroup's T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 32GB Kit - now only $65 from Amazon. The speed of this RAM hits the sweet spot for older Ryzen systems with its 3600MHz bandwidth and CL18 latency. 

You can also pick up the Corsair HS65 Surround Wired Gaming Headset for just $39 if you are in search of a  solid surround-sound headset that won’t break the budget.  With 7.1 virtual surround sound, comfortable cushioned ear cups, and a retractable microphone, this is a good price for a quality budget gaming headset. Have a look at our review of the Corsair HS65 for more information.

    I agree, this card should be about $200 cheaper because the newer 7900 XT outperforms the 6950 XT by a good margin and it can be had for $819 on Amazon.

    Note to the Admins: Is it possible to update the website where once you sign in another webpage doesn't open up whereby you have to scroll down to the News Section if you want to comment? It would be great if once we signed in we were still on the same page.

    It's a XFX Speedster Merc? Had nothing but cooling problems on my 6700 XT, so I'd advise against buying from them.

    My XFX Speedster Merc 319 AMD RX 6950 XT Black Gaming works great and stays cool. Also, it's one of the more clean and simple looking cards out there.
